Hello!
I lost three stone ish on CD eighteen months ago.
Now a stone over target (well, was a stone and a half til a couple of weeks ago) I've just joined Slimming World.
I have my third weigh in on Monday. First week I started on the Tuesday after the bank holiday, even though I knew I'd have a few days not really on it on my birthday. I thought I should at least join and start practicing SW principles. That week I gained 2 pounds. Then after my first full, proper week, I lost 6 pounds in the second W.I, hurrah!
I'm amazed by how much you can eat. This feels like the healthiest diet I've ever done (after years of yo yo crash dieting, a lull and then the Cambridge Diet.)
However I've just seen some Facebook photos of me on my birthday twelve days ago and feel I looked huge (and my hair looked crap too, to add insult to injury-it's not been right since an over enthusiastic hairdresser layered it earlier this year).
In one way it's made me feel a bit down. In another, at least I've been on SW for 12 days since then and stuck to it and feel better. I'm just impatient. I want to be back to 11 and a half stone NOW!
Still, I'm about 12 stone 4 now, so haven't got far to go until I feel comfortable. Tonight for tea it's a quorn steak, with veggies, then lovely sugar free jelly and a scoop of Marks and Sparks lovely "Count on us" caramel icecream. Maybe a curly wurly afterwards too. Oh joy- CD was never like this!
I just thought I'd introduce myself to other happily eating SW-ers- and I might keep a sort of diary here.
